Home audio studio demonstration transcription turntable

i love this video

[alaincherif]

Hello there,

Really enjoyed the video - fab 'vintage' home studio!

Aren't you also an electrical engineer of sorts?

Love the equipment, esp the Ampex tape machine (mono?), the cart machine, and of course the Gates turntable - those things are HUGE!! Isn't that a 10" 78 you're playing? I've never seen platters this size, my dad's got a Garrard (301, I think) d'époque (i.e. '60s) and it's already quite big, on springs and sitting in a massive wooden cabinet + lid.

Cheers and ATB.

Man your very own broadcast studio at home. Iliked that Gates table. I am looking into getting a rek-o-kut or something liek that. Gotta have some broadcast stuff.

do you have any Reel-to-Reel recorders?

[pegbars]

Always liked the ITC 3D cart machines. Can you still get parts for them?

Nice job on the studio, btw! :)

Very cool setup you got there!! and that was a nice song.

that an awesome piece of equipment shown at 4:38. looks like i saw a bsr turntable in there.

Yes that is a monstrous Curtis Mathes console with black and white TV and it is a BSR turntable...it sort of works but could use new caps. Will try and make a more complete video soon.

the operaetor reley have to get the speed that it say

on the l.p. to what it says by the tell of the video too fast it going to sound like a chipmunks too slow it going to sound like gramapa or a bunch of ghost sing the song.

aaah u sure like those BSR turntables, eh? i don't blame you. They're really cool. A lot of people say they're very problematic, but I never had any problems with the ones I used to have. I wish I would have kept them now... I was moving at the time and so I had to get rid of them. One I sold to a second hand store and the other I gave away to someone.

They sure are fun to take apart and put back together again, eh? I used to love the mechanics in them.

[vinylman86]

well, actually i like the older style bsrs like that one and the one in my zenith player. i did bought a sears one last year at a flea market for $5 because it was near mint and it had all the accesories. my parent also had a toshiba bsr turntable too.

[retrochad]

This is one of the older style of BSR's...I think they were better built than the 70's ones.

Neat stuff, like the board and turntable. It is amazing where equipment shows up, but that's part of the fun of it.

I do like the song.

I have 2 8 in pa system speakers. one a Bogen, the a other a Rauland. I could be wrong, but I think Rauland had ties with Zenith at one time.Both are/were made in Illinois.

also a Calfone tape deck that works somewhat well. Had an issue with some headphone jacks so I removed them and replaced them with a light switch (of all things) to turn off the internal speaker so I could use the other jacks. Has a screw in the lid so I can pull the door open.Eject button doesn't work

[retrochad]

Yes, there was a connection between Rauland and Zenith somehow...Most Zenith picture tubes were Rauland brand but I'm not really sure what the connection was.

sounds like gramapas ghost singing it the when turntable was going too slow
